Variable	Description
`bExists`	Whether the file exists. Returns TRUE if the file exists and FALSE if it does not. BOOLEAN.

SYS_FileExists is executed by the Agent process, not the Silk Test Classic process. To affect the host process, use the function with the hHost notation or machine handle operator. For more information about the machine handle operator and hHost, see Machine handle operator.

Example

BOOLEAN bExists
bExists = SYS_FileExists ("textedit.exe")
Print (bExists) // prints: TRUE
bExists = SYS_FileExists ("!@#$%^&.(@!")
Print (bExists) // prints: FALSE
